Ever since Fortnite\u2019s War Machine Arsenal Mythics and Captain America\u2019s Shield made it to the Battle Royale in Chapter 5, Season 4, players are again met with a devastating meta. Though out of all these new additions, the War Machine Hover Jets has been labeled as the necessary item to \u201cstand a chance\u201d until the endgame. With a nerf to spawn rates, however, not only does it get even more challenging to get your hands on this item, but going against someone who has it can be highly frustrating. While that\u2019s the case, some players have shared the best counters to shut down anyone using the jetpack in a Reddit thread. One player explained that most enemies \u201cfly around in the jetpack till it\u2019s out of fuel, then they don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d When that happens, equip yourself with a good AR, as it\u2019ll out-damage whatever they\u2019re going to do. Once the opportunity arises, you\u2019ll have the chance to \u201cbeam them out of the air.\u201d In Chapter 5 Season 4, there are a few kinds of AR you can use, and they\u2019re also quite common to find. The AR is also a surprisingly good counter for Captain America\u2019s Shield, as it allows you to break their guard by spamming. Aside from using the AR, another user suggested, \u201cDodge them until they run out of juice, then run up on them. Don\u2019t allow yourself to get trapped in low and exposed areas. High ground with an SUV to hide behind works well.\u201d Agreeing with this, a different user claimed they\u2019ve had \u201cplenty of success baiting them to burn their fuel\u201d with the Doom Gauntlets and a car. As soon as they run out of fuel, the player would go all in on them with the gauntlets. \u201cAlso, a car will allow you to maintain range while they\u2019re in the air. You can pop out of the car and shoot at them while they\u2019re burning their fuel,\u201d they added. Seeing how things are always changing in the Battle Royale due to new items and weapons, players will always have to adapt and find new strategies if they want to secure a Victory Royale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite\u2019s War Machine Hover Jets have a surprising counter epic gamesIf you\u2019re struggling against Fortnite players who are constantly abusing the War Machine\u2019s Hover Jets, you\u2019ll want to take a look at this weapon to counter them.
